The scientists at the meeting assessed the usefulness of research last spring that attempted to duplicate the original experiment of B. Stanley Pons of the University of Utah and his associate, Martin Fleischmann, who announced on March 23 that they had detected the by-products of room-temperature fusion.
Jones, who initially worked with Pons and Fleischmann but was left out when the pair made their dramatic announcement in March, said he will be collaborating with Gai this summer. He emphasized that they will study his experiment, rather than the one conducted by Pons and Fleischmann.
Meanwhile, Pons and Fleischmann, who declined invitations to the Los Alamos conference, remained in Utah to conduct additional tests. According to Brophy, they are attempting to clear up any mistakes they may have made in the first round of experiments and add additional data to the information they already have...
Brophy added that a second University of Utah team is conducting tests similar to the original Pons-Fleischmann experiment and so far has produced similar results.
And in the past two weeks, separate teams in Sweden and Japan have announced they have reproduced the original Pons-Fleischmann experiment with the same results, leaving scientists as puzzled as they were when the controversy started.
